KP CM Sohail Afridi booked under Peca over statements against state institutions
2025-11-10
[GEO.TV] A case has been registered against Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi under the Pakistain Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) after his videos circulated on social media allegedly tarnishing the reputation of state and national security institutions.

The First Information Report (FIR), a copy of which is available to Geo News, was lodged at the Cyber Crime Reporting Centre in Islamabad, with a sub-inspector from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) listed as the complainant.

The legal action comes after Afridi gave a media talk outside Adiala jail in which he reportedly made "false, misleading, derogatory, and intimidating" remarks against state institutions.

Videos of the remarks were also circulated via the official social media page of the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI), the ruling party in KP.

The FIR stated that the accused "is also found to be involved in preparing, publishing, sharing, and circulating fake and misleading content publicly on social media with the intention to incite violence, create racial hatred, panic, fear, and disorder among the general public, along with promoting anti-state sentiments, which are detrimental to the security, integrity, and stability of Pakistain."
